named_ports
(added in 2.3)
no
Define named ports that backend services can forward data to. Format is a a list of name:port dictionaries.
project_id
no
GCE project ID
service_account_email
no
service account email
size
no
Size of Managed Instance Group. If MIG already exists, it will be resized to the number provided here. Required for creating MIGs.
state
no present
  • absent
  • present
desired state of the resource
template
no
Instance Template to be used in creating the VMs. See https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instance-templates to learn more about Instance Templates. Required for creating MIGs.
zone
yes
The GCE zone to use for this Managed Instance Group.

Examples

# Following playbook creates, rebuilds instances, resizes and then deletes a MIG.
# Notes:
# - Two valid Instance Templates must exist in your GCE project in order to run
#   this playbook.  Change the fields to match the templates used in your
#   project.
# - The use of the 'pause' module is not required, it is just for convenience.
